Nice place in old Charleston

Extremely nice hotel, a little bit hard to find at first. The only thing I didn’t like was the $37 valet parking, but we were able to find places on the street and save some money. Rooftop swimming pool and bar was very nice, easy to walk to attractions nearby.

We loved this hotel. It was beautiful, having a very old world feel. There was a pretty big disappointment for me, as the pool closed due to chemical problems. This was my primary reason for choosing this hotel. This was an anniversary trip without kids and the hope of enjoying swimming without kids being all over me was would have been amazing. I had hoped to enjoy swimming and cocktails on the rooftop. There is little shade up there and a pool is very needed to get that experience. I would have appreciated a back up alternative, as I was informed there are day passes available at other pools but at 2:00 on the day we tried to go to the pool, it was too late. We had allocated 2 afternoons to pool time. The hotel did provide $100 per day credit but when you are really expecting a book in a place as hot as Charleston for the poolside experience, this was pretty disappointing.

Location was great. The bed was comfortable. The rooftop bar was nice. The suite we were "upgraded" to had no windows, a fridge and kitchenette area but no paper towels, cutlery or supplies of any kind. There was nothing provided in all the kitchen cupboards and drawers. Very few outlets near the only other mirror for getting ready. The lighting wasn't great in the room.

We especially enjoyed the large room, comfortable bed & pillows and amenities in room as well as coffee & treats available. The rooftop pool area was nice but we were unable to secure a lounge because either they were all taken or people left towels on them. It would be nice if they offered mocktails

Absolutely perfect location. Easy to walk to historic district, French quarter, popular restaurants and shopping. Charleston market right next door. Loved our double balcony luxury room. A little noisy as they opened to the market side. Room was a little rough looking for being recently renovated. Great shower/bath. Wished the balconies were large enough for chairs but they allowed for lots of fresh air and views. Rooftop bar/pool provided stunning city and sunset views. Staff were awesome and really took time to ensure you had all you needed. Very thoughtful. Enjoyed the coffee and daily fresh pastries on each floor at breakfast.

The staff was very accommodating. The room was good. Only used their restaurant once. It was very pricey. I’ve never paid $63 for a steak and the sides were extra.
